There are a number of pros waaaaaay better than me that can comment on which cards are OP whats good and whats bad so you should just go read those. I just feel like typing with my mouth open. It's a disease. I'm trying to get help.
You still here? Ok I feel like talking about magic cards so here goes. This is my buy list for Fat Reforged. Not what I think is hot shit you should buy, or my dumb EDH opinions(Yeah I went there. what about it?) just me sitting on TCG looking at prices and trying to save a buck..
Cheap Buys and fun ofs
I think of Atarka, World Render as a simple win con. ok so if he survives 1 turn he does 12 damage if you don't have stormbreath dragon on the table. Thats just gross. He also goes over Hornet queen. The reason he's on the list is hes currently $.89. If he doesn't pan out oh well.
I feel confident saying yasova is a $2-3 rare. It has trample when boon satyr doesn't, it helps keep chump blockers like hornets nest out of your face. Thats what you want to be thinking about. Bodies are one thing but always be thinking about the utility of a card. Same deal this one is like $.70. I'm at worst losing taco bell cash on this one.
I understand your reluctance considering his hat, but man is it just me or is there a whole lot of goddamn warriors in this set? I mean not one accountant or I don't know, RF engineer? of any sort on Tarkir?
I feel like they've done a much better job of, this time around, is taking a theme and building a block around it. In innsitrad we had vampires out the kazoo, maybe it was the management musical chairs but return to Ravnica had 0 theme and Theros started a really interesting enchantment theme that didn't even get going until midway through the block. I realize I sound like a disgusting casual but I do wonder if a 3, 4 or even 5 color warrior deck is not possible at this point? take all the warriors we know about and all the good abzan cards? I swear the deck is there and we'll see it in the coming weeks. Dragon Scale General is currently sitting at $.20. *shrug* why not?
Reasonably priced things Nate will play
I think I literally played Chandras phoenix from the day it was printed until the day it left standard. A 2/2 flyer with haste you can rebuy. /fin
$3.40. This is probably going to be it's price until it rotates. I'm buying Flamewake Phoenix because it's great and I'm going to play it.
True story, when I was in grade school I had a massive crush on this chick Alesha. In the 5th grade I won honors as being in the top 5 students, grade and representation wise, in the school. Right before the award event alesha found me sitting on the steps outside bawling my eyes out because my tie had come undone and I had no idea how to fix it. She sat down, completely straight faced, no judgement, tied my tie and walked me into the auditorium. I never saw her again after graduation. Alesha, Who Smiles at Death is $1.90 and I suspect might not even see play until rotation but going back to the issue of warriors I can't help but wonder if theres a deck for this card so I'm buying a 3 of.
"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT DAVE I TOLD YOU TO WAIT IN THE CAR!". Part of me is buying this card because when I saw it that was my immediate first thought, but also it's a value card and I think as control decks become more playable the "dash" mechanic is going to see a lot more play. Currently it's a $1.40 and while you could pull a set out of boosters easily I imagine if you're going to buying a ton of boosters I see no reason not to get Mardu Strike Leader now.
I'm just in love with this card. I've been trying to point out to people that it gives elvish mystic life outside of mana dorkdum. I'm buying it now because I honestly think getting my hands on a 4 of locally is going to be a pain and Shaman of the Great Hunt is only $6.75. It might be bad but I really doubt it.
Uncommons I'm buying
Why? Duh. Fight? Bring it
This is a 3 mana 3/1 non targeting kill spell that is just looking for the right deck. oh and its another goddamn warrior. $.32
1 mana 2/1 with value. whats not to like. It's just a shame they couldn't give him a real job like fire-fighter or something. $.22
2/2 lifelink flyer for 3. I'm not gonna feed you everything here. I will say in white weenies or maybe heroic there isn't a card you'd be sad you accidentally manifested. $.09 on TCG
BUT WHY AREN'T YOU BUYING..
That about wraps up my thoughts on cards I'm buying today I do have some opinions and I'm putting them here at the bottom so you can just leave if you disagree. Why am I not buying these cards? Because your mom had a bad week on the corner.
I think Ugin is great, but it's just not a card I'm ever going to cast and not for $30. It's like $8 irl.
I think Monastery Mentor is fucking terrible. White sorcery decks that play a lot of instants and sorceries, in any format, do not want 3 drops with no immediate value. Show me different. I'm calling the shot on this one.
Why they decided to poke it in the dick by making it a 2/2 instead of 2/3 screams "OMG deathrite shaman again nooooooo!" Fucking babies. Man up. Tommy Hilfiger made the ultimate designer mistake of admitting he's a giant racist twat and he's fine. Stop being pussies.
Soulfire Grand Master is probably crazy good. If it weren't $20 I'd probably get a set. I'm just waiting for it to go down a little. Dat Lifelink.
Brutal Hordechief and Warden of the First Tree both seem good I just don't know if they're $8 good. They feel like fleecemane and Herald of Torment rares. I want to wait and see on both. If I'm going to be wrong it'll be on Brutal Hordechief and I'll pick him up next week maybe.
Soulflayer is weird. It's a mardu card that want's to be in Sultai. I'm not seeing it, but I could be wrong $2 ain't the worst.
Ok I'm bored of reforged card talk now. BYE
Also I would not be a proper self-absorbed cunt(the UK insult chill) if I did not mention winning a GPT with this deck.
reclamation sage would have been far more efficient. My deck was built literally the night before the GP opened. That GP trial was the first time I'd actually played the deck, no testing. I ran Andrew tenjums MTGO build for the GP not knowing that it was vastly out of date tool wise. Additionally abzan aggro made up like 50% of the Meta. If I'd know all that going in I would run 3 reclamation sages in the sideboard, brought both elspeth to the main and taken out Heir of the wilds I think though Rhakshaa death dealer really never impressed me either. I might have taken out 1 piece of removal or a death dealer for another wingmate roc.
-2 heir
-1 downfall
- 1 anafenza
+2 sorin
+1 elsepeth
+1 wingmate roc
SIDEBOARD
1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
2 Nissa, Worldwaker
3 Drown in Sorrow
3 Glare of Heresy
1 Back to Nature
3 reclaimation sage
1 whip of erebos
1 murderous cut
